LEARN MORE FROM ME: I also teach barbering over on UDEMY www.udemy.com/course/become-a-barber-with-the-one-minute-barber/?referralCode=42BF2C51051CEA42A664

brother I cant thank you enough for this! I'm going through a divorce right now and my ex was a hair dresser and 3x a year she could clean me up lol. Now I can do it on my own and honestly my hair looks better then she ever did it! Also had people at the local market look it over and said it looked top notch! Not all heros wear capes, some make youtube videos helping peasants lol

I realize this is 2 years late, but our budget at home has gotten really tight so I needed to cut even some of the small things now. I watched your video a few times, and took a chance I could do it without making myself look silly. Your method in this video worked beautifully. I just wanted to thank you for this knowledge.

Here's my personal story: I'm now 29, and I've been getting my hair cut by barbers since I was 15. Before that, my mother used to cut it, but you know how complicated and stressful that can be, especially if you don't have the best relationship with your mom. By December 2023, I hadn't cut my hair for two months, and it was really long (I usually cut it every month). My girlfriend asked if I had ever thought about buying clippers to cut my own hair at home. So, I bought a Kemei clipper, and since then, my girlfriend's been cutting my hair. However, she always gets nervous during the cut, so I decided to learn how to do it myself. That's when I discovered Michael's KZfaq channel and his amazing way of teaching. He made it so simple and straightforward that anyone, even those who don't know anything about barbering, can do it themselves. Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever return to a barbershop, maybe for a special occasion, but definitely not regularly. There's something incredibly satisfying about being able to do it yourself. It's not just about saving money. Michael, I want to thank you for the wonderful videos you've made. You've made a difference in a lot of people's self-esteem.

Best tutorial ever I still follow it

I've been clipping my own barnet for well over 20 years & today I discovered your tutorial, I've gotta say it's the best haircut I've ever given myself, even me Ma commented on how nice it looked, and she rarely notices!🤣 Thank you for your excellent tutorials, I wish I'd found you sooner! 😆

Have just cut my husbands hair, we are in lockdown month two. You need to be given a noble peace prize, for sharing this. A brilliant teacher, short and sweet, and too boot my husband is looking oh so great! Lesson learnt 2 mm is not a No2 👀

I watched dozens of self-haircut-tutorials. This is the only one that actually taught me to do it without looking like a donkey. Thank you so very much. Listening to that wonderful accent sure doesn't hurt.

FINALLY. It's rare to get a simplified explanation of a haircut that is supposed to be non-complicated. Super easy to follow along! Great work.

Achievement unlocked: cut own hair :) My wife offered to cut my hair, but I wanted to be able to say I'd done it myself. Thanks for the video tutorial, I'm currently feeling awesome!

The best self haircut video I have seen so far. Thanks.

This is the best instruction for cutting hair on KZfaq

Cutting with the grain is a game changer. Also, that blending technique is genius

My wife and I both like short hair. We just bought clippers and are now learning from you. A genuine public service. Thanks Michael!

This guy just helped me get my first half decent cut since lockdown. I've watched many vids but this guy simplifies it. Too many people are trying to do fades at number 1's and 2's who have never even picked up clippers before or, don't realise how you need the right lighting and mirrors. I'm going to miss my dumb and dumber bowl cut 😂

I've been cutting my hair for 30 years and I've never found an explanation as useful and precise as this one... thank you very much for uploading this video! 👍

My barber of 30 odd years retired and after being mocked by my kids for being reluctant to find someone else (and being called a hobo) I found your guide and the results are surprisingly good. Fooled the family into thinking I'd finally found a new barber anyway. Thank you so much.

I have always been scared to cut my own hair but after watching this video I can't wait to try it. Thank you very much.

Been cutting my own hair for the last year (for obvious reasons) and this is revolutionary. For anyone else staring at their reflection thinking "Am I really going to take this razer to my head? Oh god I'm going to be bald" just take the plunge, you'll be as surprised and as pleased as I was with the results! Thanks for making this video, you've saved me a couple of hours of pain a month 😂

I cut my older son & my husbands hair at home with clippers and have been for quite awhile now and I have watched many hair cutting videos for extra info, but it's hard to find videos that show just using clippers and finally I found your videos and this is one of the better videos. So Thank you.

After watching this guide, I cut my own hair for the second time ever. It looks so much better than last time. Thank you for the clear and detailed walkthrough!

I have been cutting my own hair since 1969. I almost don't need mirrors to trim my medium length hair. I usually strip down to cut just before a shower. Takes 5 minutes every couple of weeks.

I just tried this, didn't have an extra mirror so I had to call a friend and he helped me with the back of the head. It went surprisingly well even with how I adjust based off what my barbers do and how my hair/head is. Thank you for existing

Hair cutting tuition par excellence!!!!What a fine instructor!

Okay, so I just finished my first haircut using this video. I cannot believe how well it came out. The part on how to cut the hair on the top of the head...why does no one else ever mention this in their videos? It is incredible. That was always the part that baffled me; I knew using scissors and a comb was too advanced. This technique is so simple. It was a little bit stressful seeing so much hair being removed (it has been a long while since I had a haircut), but it came out great. This is literally the only video I needed. Thanks.

Thank you. This is the best video on the net for men to cut their hair. You saved a lot of trouble and fear going outside and I could do it myself

You have just saved my boyfriend and I many hours of stress. Thank you so much!

I followed your instructions to give myself a pixie cut, and it looks rad 👌🏻thank you so much!

Thank you, Michael your videos are really a saver. I have been cutting my own hair since a retired plus my grandson. Your technique is incredible and easy to follow. The Occipital Ridge has always given me so much trouble. Usually, I ended up with something like horns or Mohican style. Considering that I am almost 80 years is OK for me but not for my wife and granddaughters. I like to go to the barber every two or three months and they make a lot of fun with my hairstyles.

This is such an amazing tutorial! Thanks so much for the simple yet awesome tips!

Man I wish this video came out in March of 2020!! This is the most helpful self cut video on KZfaq. Thanks so much for posting this!

I struggle really really hard to go to a barber. I only went once in my life and it was a complete disaster, so I fear it so much. Your video helps me alot to cut my own hair. Thx!!

Agree with other comments. This is amazing! So helpful. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making these videos! I just did my own haircut for the first time and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! I used higher clips because I don't like to go quite so short, but the techniques are the real key. If it looks this good for a first try I can't wait to see how I improve over the next few cuts!

This really is an excellent guide. I’ve cut my hair a few times during lockdown and it always takes me ages. End up spending an hour or so trying to correct mistakes but this is so straight forward. Cutting with the grain is an absolute game changer for me. Thanks Michael

hands down the best tutorial for beginners on youtube.

Exactly how I do my own hair cuts......and I'm not a hairdresser. I've been cutting my own hair since I Was 22 years old

This is the first video I’ve watched that advocates cutting with the grain rather than against it. I’ve really struggled trying to go against the grain, so I’m definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the video!

I've watched so many videos, but this one is the BEST of them all. Thank you

I used your technique and cut my own hair. The result was awesome

I have much respect for you to cut your own hair. It's really hard. I cut my own hair and I kno how hard it is. Brilliant well done mate

This is one of the best self barbering videos on KZfaq. Thank you!

Best tutorial on this so far. Thanks, really. The best.

Great tutorial. Big thanks you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

I am impressed. I have never seen this method where you run the clippers downward to get a fade. I always see barbers go upward. Interesting tips. Thank you for sharing mate, from USA.

There are a couple of useful tutorials that I've been using to good effect for my first attempts at cutting my hair, and the tip for thinning your hair by using the clippers following the hair direction instead of going against it works really well. Your tip for going down to help blend also helps. so thanks for that :O)

Gave this a go today, the back is a little dodgy but overall I’m really pleased with how I got on! Thank you for posting and for the tips, really, really helpful!!

Super helpful!! Thank you for this video. I’ve been cutting my hair since the pandemic. This vid helped me with some problems I had before, trying to even my sides.

Thank you Michael , a video that shows how its done. Off to have a go, will come back later and tell you. Back 30 mins later, looks ok , luckily I have curly hair .Wife did it and were still speaking .

Was really fed up with my hair that had been looking more and more untidy since December: so I took the plunge, watched some of your videos and bought myself some clippers. It turned out really well, mainly because of your clear simple instructions - thanks.

I never thought I could cut my own hair and it was really depressing me but watched your video and did it in an hour and it went great so massive thank you. If I can do it anyone can just the way you showed. Well done mate you're a life saver 😁

Thanks for your guidance!

Thanks for the quick reply...I'm going for it tomorrow.

Watched this last night as my barnet had got totally out of control and my girlfriend scalped me last time she tried with my clippers. Did it today and really happy with the result, thank you so much fella!

I've watched too many self-haircut videos. This is by far the best. Breaking each step down to super simple techniques is great. Thanks.

Thank you for this. Simple instructions with no showing off and clearly explained. Excellent

Grateful for your teaching. I have a preference for how I ike my haircut and with your technique I've been able to keep my hair the way I like it.

brilliant. been doing my own like this since watching your video in first lockdown. scary doing that top first time but love it now! I like it longer at front than back so playing around with different guides 2/3 seems to work!

Brilliant tips tried it just there the top turns out so well , only bit I found tricky was cutting the back of the head up top and blending it with the sides , thank you 👍

Thank you for posting this vid. Very helpful.

Great tutorial! Thanks so much!

Many thanks for such amazing tutorial and video. Really helps a lot when you're literally locked down and not other options exists. it works and it's really easy to do by yourself.

I just did it myself for the first time today thanks to your vid. It was way clearer than the vast majority that I found, not only that, it instilled a confidence that I had not had before. The cut turned out better than my local barbers- and for free. Thanks, dad.

Bought some clippers today and my wife got to work after watching this video. She did a great job and said this was really helpful and without it I'd probbaly have ended up with #2 all over. Many thanks.

Thanks for making this!

Thank you. Your method looks a lot easier. I am going to try it.

What a great explanation! I've been trying to do this for months and just butchering my hair. I'm going to try this now. Thanks 👍

Very very helpful! Thank you Michael!

Just cut my hair with clippers, following your video and tips. I thank you! Very pleased with the outcome.

The blending of the side technique/tip was very helpful. I have straight hair and this is the number one problem I have of getting the visible line to not be so noticeable. Thank you.

Been cutting my own hair for years. Decided to watch your video to see how you do it..... and what has always been an hour long, incredibly stressful time.... was suddenly easy and completed in less than 20 minutes. Thank you! Brilliant video and now, thanks to you, I have a great haircut!

wow, this was easy and came out perfect, thanks so much, I usually end up with a bowl cut after I'm finished, simple and it works.

Thank you so much for your time,made me feel so much better with my new haircut.

Thanks for the technique. This is the first time here. I have been cutting my own hair over 20 years, high and tight fade. As I am getting older, I am starting to like the length of your final result. The new challenge includes my unmanaged beard.

thank you SO much for this!! it saved me during this lockdown and stopped me from just shaving my whole head again because i couldn't go to the barbers lol

Awesome video. Many thanks!

Thank you Sooo much, I could do crew cuts, all the same length, my wife cut my hair with a scissors, for 30 years, but thought I would give the clippers a try. The first video, they used a scissors on the top, I am on blood thinners, so I didn't want to try that, I put on your video, watched part of it, paused it did what you did, watched a little more, it turned out AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Thank you so much. My poor hubby had a little bowl cut for the longest time but that clipper going with the growth of the hair to blend is an amazing technique for diy. 💕

Followed this last night and finally got the best self-cut I’ve ever tried. Great video. Thanks.

Excellent tutorial. I have always used the clippers in an upward motion, never thought you would go downward. Looks like it's much easier to blend and will be doing this next haircut 👍🏼

Thank you for a great tutorial! Very helpful.

Thanks from another DIY at home barber! I've watched so many videos on the subject, but yours is one of the best. Your technique is great and you explain the steps well. Great video.

Very useful tutorial,, appreciate I m going to try this method

The cutting from top to bottom is amazing. It can be difficult to cut against the direction your hair grows and get a clean look. Thanks! Amazing!

I have been afraid to cut my own hair. Thank you. You gave me the incentive to do it. Ps. It came out ok

Just wanted to say thanks. I cut my own hair today following your guidance in your video. I’m really happy in how it came out. I like your simple and easy techniques to cutting your own hair. Big cheers!

I’ve been cutting my own hair since March 2020. Just came across this method, by far the easiest way to get as close as you can to the barbershop in very little time. Thanks!

These videos are amazing thank you so much 🙏

Thanks for taking the one to post this vid. Excellent.

I literally cut my hair today, and I wish I had seen this video before. I'll try your blending technique next time, it looks really easy. Thanks for posting this!

Have followed this man's videos before and they are brilliant. Cutting my own hair during lockdown using his method . It works so well I can not believe it. I use a small Remington clippers . But when I cut my boys hair they complain it pulls the hair a bit. Would anyone recommend a good cordless clippers to buy. Nothing crazy expensive , but good for a DIY .

Great information again for the brave. Thank you 👍

This is the best haircut video okay it's the only haircut video I have seen. However, I have cut my own hair in the past. His simple blending technique is great. Thank you.

Just ordered some Wahl clippers as my bouffant has become untameable now. Thanks for the video!

Thanks to your videos I've cut my own hair five times now. I bought some Wahl clippers off Ebay during the first lockdown and was brave enough to cut my own hair after watching one of your videos. I use number 8 (25mm) on top and usually number 3 at the back and sides. I haven't been brave enough to use number 2 or 3 to go down the back and sides to blend it in more...but I might do now after watching this video ! 👍

Brilliant, thank you Michael!

Great presentation! You took the time to explain comb lengths, techniques and head structure. I learned what I've been doing wrong. My next cut should look similar to yours. Thank you!

This is class. I watched another tutorial way back in the early lockdown and have been doing my own hair since, but now I wish I'd seen this technique of using clippers and going with the grain earlier. Massively helpful

Thanks for a solid beginner haircut video! I feel confident I can do this myself and have been wanting to try a self-cut but was afraid I'd butcher my hair. Appreciate your simple approach for newbies!!

Thank you for giving me the confidence to cut my own hair.
